Anthony Partridge elected chair of STEP Cayman

Ogier partner and leading private client lawyer Anthony Partridge has been elected chair of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) Cayman.

Anthony's election follows many years of involvement in STEP Cayman, including as chair of the STEP education sub-committee and as student liaison officer for the jurisdiction. His work spearheading several local STEP education campaigns has led to the STEP Cayman branch having one of the highest student member populations of any STEP branch globally.

Anthony has also played a pivotal role in legislative reform in the area of vulnerability through his contributions on the STEP legislative drafting sub-committee. This work has led to an initiative whereby amendments to the legislation are set to introduce enduring powers of attorney in the Cayman Islands.

Anthony's private client work regularly sees him advising on the largest and most high-profile private client matters in the Cayman Islands, including those involving family offices, ultra-high net worth individuals and institutional trustees.  

Ogier is a Platinum Employer Partner with STEP, recognising the firm's global commitment to the development and wellbeing of its employees. STEP employer accreditation is awarded following a rigorous review process.

Anthony said: "I'm honoured to have been elected by my STEP colleagues to continue our great work advancing education and accreditation for the many trusts and estates practitioners in Cayman. I'm particularly passionate about continuing our focus on opening up careers in the trust and financial services industry on island to people from all backgrounds, and providing expert input from our branch on legislation which affects all of us here in Cayman. I look forward to working alongside my fellow STEP Cayman Council members and wider branch in this work and would like to thank our outgoing chair Tamara Corbin for her excellent leadership over the last couple of years."
